Title
Waiting with Jose, a vision-based mobile robot
Abstract
Jos´ e is a visually guided autonomous robotic waiter. He circulates around a room populated by groups of people, po- litely serving appetizers to humans. The serving task com- bines elements of robotics with human computer interaction, challenging control architecture with multiple task integra- tion. This paper describes our purely vision-based approach to this task. Methods for mapping, localization and naviga- tion are presented and discussed, including issues of safety for both robots and humans. Our work on human-robot in- teraction is covered, as well as our solutions to various tasks specifi ct oserving food. We present results of our methods from sample experiments in our laboratory. We further dis- cuss our experiences at the 2001 AAAI mobile robot "Hors D'œuvres Anyone?" competition, at which Jose took first prize.
